13 FE Lenses Available today?

[KWGeorge]

So I am confused on Sony FE lenses as I keep reading that there are 13 FE lenses available “today” however when I look at B&H and look at Sony branded lenses that I can buy today I count 8. Now if I add the two converters for the 28mm that takes me to 10 and even if I am generous and say that the 90mm Macro is in that count I still have only 11. When I add in the Zeiss lenses I still have 10 as they are all “pre-order” like the 90mm so what is this 13 they keep talking about as “available today”??

 

Now taking that you guys can tell me what I missed here and I am sure it will be something simple they are saying 20 lenses by 2016 and assuming they are not counting the Zeiss made lenses (Batis family) what do you think the other 7 lenses will be? Long glass would be nice but then I have to save for a long time or mortgage something. They are trying to hit the most popular focal lengths and what pros really want so I am wondering what will be next?

Here's the list =)

counting the adapters it's exactly 13

 

For me personally I really hope they can bring out another one or two really compact high quality primes as the 35mm 2.8. And a tilt-shift would be really interesting to see.

You are right, I did not think to look at that chart and I always forget about that odd 28-135 as it is not listed at B&H at least under the normal FE lens location but neither are the converters. I guess I am still hung up on the "Available Now" as I have the 90mm on pre-order and its not out for sale yet :-)

 

Wonder when they will release the rest of the roadmap they are referring to? Humm

Im waiting for the extended roadmap too. Hope to see some rumors soon *wink@admin* :-)

From what I read the 28-135 is far from odd and has impressive features and resolution, but it is mostly for video shooters...

I am anxiously awaiting the rumors of new lenses. So far the only lens that I am 100% satisfied with the sound of it on paper (in other words, I could order it now with no fear of regrets) is the 28mm f2. Have there been any rumors regarding the next batch of lenses to be released? I am especially interested in a long, fast prime to replace my 300mm f2.8 Tokina that I love so much.
